Description

This deciduous shrub has beautiful blooms in the summer. It can reach 3'-4' tall and has a rounded form. This shrub prefers shade although a bit of sun will allow for more blooms. The flowers change color depending on acidity of soil. Hydrangea needs moist, fertile soil. This is a delightful addition to any semi-shady corner of the garden.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust will also break down and improve the soil.
